Bernard Hopkins- "manny ducks black fighters"

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5820908


Hopkins -- who said he's voicing what other black fighters and fight fans are thinking but reluctant to say -- is wondering why Pacquaio hasn't fought Mayweather "or any other top-notch black fighter," according to the report.



WOW

Ha Ha, dude just wiped the floor with a guy straight out of Africa.

Pacquaio fought and defeated Joshua Clottey of Ghana earlier this year, but Hopkins discounted that win, saying "Clottey is 'black,' but not a 'black boxer' from the states with a slick style."

"-- and I mean, black fighters from the streets or the inner cities -- would be successful," said Hopkins, according to Fanhouse.com.

Reminds me of JCC against a black Meldrick Taylor. He was slick alright but was never the same. Be careful what u wish for B-Hop.

who was the last cutesie fighter Pac fought?

Manny would probably beat Hopkins ass

Ledwabas the last cutesie i acn think of off top of my head that manny fought

WTF is a cutesie?

lol, what a jackass

Hopkins brings up race constantly with boxing. Both he and Floyd resent someone who isn't black getting this much love.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I don't listen to them on a daily basis, but when I hear PBF and/or Hopkins interviewed they seem like racists.

Just the 1?

Im sorry but Bernard pulls that card more so than none. Gotta love his heart but he leaks at the mouth from time to time.

Hopkins doesn't like white people.Remember when he said,"I'll never lose to a white boy?'(Calzaghe)

I guess he hates everybody equally.I used to think it was just schtick,but I think he's just a bigot.

I think he trys to be the guy that every1 hates to a point. He starts shit with every1 and when they fight maybe he feels it throws them off there game or something.

Just trying to keep his name in the press, especially with a fight coming up next month vs Pascal on Showtime 12/18

I like B-Hop as a fighter I just dont give a shit about his thoughts at all.

LMAO U wasnt serious????

Hopkins is getting some hype and running his dumb mouth. I don't think he is racist, but will pull that card at the drop of a dime. We all saw how nice B-Hop was when he was with Randy Couture a few months back at the EA Sports convention. He treated that old white man very well because he knew Randy could beat that ass. That was during the Toney vs Randy debacle if you don't remember
